Sounds good. I will be down for whatever then. Schedule might get kinda hectic between work and an upcoming surgery hopefully in the near future though. Definitely down to go out when I can though.
Makes sense. The Softroaders club that's hosting the event I linked to is likely a good start - very unassuming, non-judgemental group that actually gets a kick helping beginners figure things out.
It's been a few years since I talked to any of them but check with Kieth Jones with Jones Jeeps at the entrance to HF. They may still offer beginners classes. Keith is good teacher.
Wish you a speedy recovery buddy and see you on the trails soon.
My wife and I are really interested in doing this. We will need to Shuffle a couple things around, but will check on it.
I haven't run it since my original post a couple years ago, but you guys shouldn't have anything to worry about running this. Other than the river crossing it is all well graded dirt road and back-country paved roads from Fredericksburg to Mason. It is more of a scenic drive than a trail in my opinion.I just want to clarify I’ve never run this trail but I have a lot of four wheeling experience.
How’s the service out there? I live in a metro area down in south texas and constantly have poor service with Verizon. A little worried I’ll lose service and have difficulty navigating the map or was it pretty much a point and drive trail?
I’d prefer to do Friday afternoon so I could hit some granite trails Saturday. I’m just not sure how Hydros timeline looks.
Service was definitely spotty in places. I would suggest downloading that area’s data for use offline in Google maps. That way even if you loose service the satellite connection will still show you where you are.
